Senior Spotlight: After graduation, Paisley will be attending Ohio Northern University's Pettit College of Law to earn her JD.

Her favorite Bethany memory is getting to be the President of the Student Activities Council for two years. Through this, she was able to develop her leadership skills, plan complex events like the B.O.B. concert, and make a ton of friends throughout campus that she says she wouldn't have been able to do otherwise.

Paisley's advice to future Bethanians is "Take advantage of everything you see. We are a small campus in the middle of nowhere but I promise that if you look there is something to do every day. Whether it be a sport, greek life, club involvement, or work study, if you want to, you can always find something to do. Bethany is what you make it."
